Creating a new page is easy. There are two ways to do this.
One way is to start with your Navigation pane.
1. Click the EDIT NAVIGATION.
2. Type in the pages you would like to see displayed in your wiki. Pages might hold different segments of the assignments or they could hold different units you plan to cover.
3. Highlight a page title that you typed in and click the LINK icon at the top of the editing tool bar.
4. Since this is a page in your wiki, the page information will load automatically for you. If you wish to link to a different page other than the one automatically displayed, you may choose the link for CHOOSE AN EXISTING PAGE. A drop down menu of existing pages will display the pages from which you may choose. Highlight the page you would like to link.
5. Before you link, consider selecting the OPEN NEW WINDOW choice. This opens the new page in a separate window. The advantages of this is for people who are used to clicking the "X" to exit a page. In a wiki, if you click the "x" to exit a page and you are not in a new window, you will exit the entire wiki. Then you will need to log in again and find the page you were on before exiting. If you open a new window for each new page, when you "x" out of window you return to the previous page instead of exiting the entire wiki.
6. Click the ADD LINK button.
7. Save your pages.
8. You can access your new pages by clicking on them from your navigation pane.
OR...
1. You can click on NEW PAGE.
